[126/251] powerpc/windfarm: Fix noisy slots-fan on Xserve (rm31)

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Sep 11 2013 - 01:30:26 EST


3.6.11.9-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fe956a1d4081ce1a959f87df397a15e252201f10 ]

slots-fan on G5 Xserve is always running at full speed with windfarm_rm31
driver, resulting in a very high acoustic noise level. It seems the fan
parameters are incorrect, and have been copied from the Drive Bay fan
(RPM, not present on rm31) of the legacy therm_pm72 driver. This patch
changes the parameters to match the Slots fan (PWM) of therm_pm72. With
the patch, slots-fan speed drops from 99% to 19% during normal use,
and slots-temp settle to ~42'C.
